Lyrics:
Christ is risen! Baptized in his death and rising, so are we. Children of the resurrection, we are one now; we are free. Fear no longer holds us, and we live with love courageously, giving gifts and sharing love for God, who loves eternally. * In this feast we greet the risen Christ, who calls us all in grace, gathered into one and fed with love, we now are mercy’s face. Now we are Christ’s risen Body; for the world we now are light, children of the resurrection, radiant with eternal life. * Without communion: “With glad hearts we greet the risen Christ ...”

Christ is now living, who was once buried, lovingly giving life to us all. Deep in the grave he bore all our sorrow; risen to save, he utters his call. Christ has arisen! My heart is singing: God, you have given life that is new, endlessly giving, blossoming deeply. So I am giving my heart to you. Siblings of Jesus, let us go on now, one with each other in this new light, serving and loving; so by our giving others may meet Christ in their own sight.

Lyrics:
Christ is now living— Alleluia!— wondrously giving life out of death, hope gently spoken when we were hopeless, when we were broken, life-giving breath. God, you have sought us deep in our suffering, and you have brought us out of our fear, gently revealing your presence in us, tenderly healing, drawing us near. Christ, in your rising you are our sunrise, drawing surprising green from the seed. Still your light finds us, wrapped in our grave clothes; from all that binds us, now we are freed. God, your grace gives us brand new tomorrows. As Christ forgives us we are made new. Now liberated from sin and sorrow, newly created, we follow you.

Come, risen Christ, to us. Come into our daily lives. Come in our labors and in our rest. Walk with us by our side. Show us where grace may hide. Become our host, who once was guest. Come, risen Christ, to us. Come into our fear and pain. Come, speak to us your word of peace. Nourish our weakened hearts. Feed us the food of grace. From guilt and anguish grant release. Come, risen Christ, to us. Lay your hand upon our hearts. Draw us to follow. Our lives now use. Call us your word to keep, love you and feed your sheep, and bear your light where you shall choose.

Lyrics:
Christ is risen! Alleluia! God, you raised him from the grave. You are faithful, always loving, always just and strong to save. All our sin and all our sorrow can’t begin to stop your grace: Christ is present here among us, speaking with us face to face. Christ, we meet you; Life, we greet you! Alleluias loud we sing. You invite us to your table. To the feast our gifts we bring. Bread is broken; hearts are mended; truth is spoken; wine is poured. In our love and joyful sharing we behold you, Christ adored. Holy Spirit, life eternal, gift of grace, all praise to you! In this feast of resurrection raise us up to lives anew: free, forgiving, deeply loving, gently living without fear, Christ in us, alive, forever! Christ in us, your presence here!

Let Me Feel Your Wounds
Original song.
Based on Jo.hn 20.25 (Hear an audio excerpt in the product description.)
Lyrics:
Risen Christ, let me feel your wounds in the heart of the Lord whom I have crucified. May I feel your forgiving, and begin brand new living. May I know your rising there. Risen Christ, let me feel your wounds in the hands of the lonely and despairing ones. May I love with your caring. May I hope with your daring. May I know your rising there. Risen Christ, let me feel your wounds in the feet of the poor and homeless wandering. May I weep with their weeping. May I give without keeping. May I know your rising there. Risen Christ, let me feel your wounds in the marks of our violence upon the world. May I bless and heal. May your peace be my seal. May I know your rising there.

Lyrics:
Morning is breaking, sorrowful morning, as we are making haste to the tomb: cold and despairing, numb and defeated, painfully bearing darkness and gloom. But in the dawning we see the grave now, empty and yawning, bright like the sun. Angels in glory say he is risen! “Go tell the story: Death is undone!” We came to grieve our crucified Jesus, but, loving God, you opened his grave! Jesus is living! Yours is the victory, great in forgiving, mighty to save. God, you have greeted sin with forgiveness; you have defeated evil and fear. Light of his rising, shine in our courage, pure, energizing, radiant and clear. Morning is breaking bright in our hearts now, as we are waking, light in our eyes. With him we offer love without fear, for with him we suffer, with him we rise.

Lyrics:
Christ, we are baptized into your dying, and like the sunrise, we are made new, given new breath, to live every moment, for out of death comes new life in you. Great Holy Spirit, breathe in us daily, set free from fear that once bound us in, free now to love our neighbors with courage, rising above our death and our sin. Blessed and forgiven and resurrected, set free for living by grace alone, may we live lives of gentle compassion, with the same light that in Jesus shone.

Lyrics:
You laid your life down like sowing a seed; once dead and buried, from death you are freed, rising like wheat in the warmth of the sun! Christ you are risen! New life has begun! Christ, you are risen, but not far above: you live among us in each act of love, in every deed of compassion you rise, living in flesh we can see with our eyes. Christ, we are blest as we gather to dine, strengthened for love by the bread and the wine. This is your Body, now entering ours, strong with your loving, miraculous powers. Gathered like wheat from the fields in the sun, once we were scattered but raised we are one. We are the body of your love and grace, your blest community, your real human face. Jesus, you feed us, then bid us to leave, sharing with others the love we receive. We are your Body, sent by your command, making love real as the bread in our hands.

.
Free to copy and use. Or you can pay-what-you-like to donate.
Lyrics:
Early in the morning we come to the tomb, bearing sins and sorrows,wounds and hearts of gloom. But what is this?The stone is rolled away! And the tomb is empty! Wonder and dismay! * Verse 2, Synoptic version: Then an angel greets us, speaking to our fear, saying “Christ is risen. See, he is not here.” Now our despair itself has passed away, and we feel new life rise in the dawning day. * Verse 2, John version -- So we ask the gardener where the body is— and we hear the voice and know that it is his. “Why do you weep?” Such sadness fills our eyes. Then we see and fill with joy and glad surprise. Christ now stands before us, living as he said. Oh, what hope he brings us, rising from the dead! Night was so dark, but with the rising sun everything is changed now, in this grace-filled dawn. We give God our spirits, buried just like seeds, and emerge forgiven, healed, made new and freed. Sorrow and dread are changed to joy instead. Spring now blooms, for Christ is risen from the dead!

We take this moment, Christ, with you: for crucified and raised anew you walk with us in all our pain. Our hearts cry out for you again. We bless this moment: it is dear, for, hidden, you are with us here. Our hearts reach out to touch your hand, though we don’t always understand. We break this moment open wide and find your presence at our side. Your warm light rises from within; new life is waiting to begin. We give this moment, God, to you: that in our living you shine through, that we may wonder, serve and bless, that you may rise, O Christ, in us.
